Flashes, A Bluesky-Based Instagram Alternative, Now Available On App Store. All You Need To Know
If you're getting tired of Instagram, a Bluesky-based alternative known as Flashes is now available on the App Store. According to TechCrunch, the app offers a decentralised, algorithm-free experience for users who want more control over their visual content. It uses the same basic technical framework as Bluesky, the AT protocol. However, though closely integrated, it is developed by a third-party Berlin-based developer, Sebastian Vogelsang, rather than Bluesky's core team. Flashes is currently a free download from the App Store and requires iOS 17 or higher to run. There is no confirmed date for an Android version yet. Flashes' features and functionality Flashes has the same requirements around posting images and videos as you'd find on Bluesky directly. Originally, that meant support for posting up to four images and videos of one minute in length, but as the Bluesky version 1.99 was updated and released earlier this year, users have been able to upload videos up to three minutes in length, the outlet reported. Unlike traditional social media apps, posts made on Flashes will also appear on Buesky, with comments and interactions flowing between both platforms seamlessly. How Flashes is different from Instagram Flashes is somewhat similar to Instagram, as it offers a scrollable feed of photos and videos, user profiles, and even photo filters to enhance your images when posting, per TechCrunch. But instead of having to start your network from scratch, Flashes' users are immediately tapped into the wider Bluesky community. Even if not all of Bluesky's users are on Flashes, their images and videos will be displayed in the app. And when you post on Flashes, it will create a post that will appear on Bluesky. Moreover, the app will let you browse your own Bluesky feeds and choose from Bluesky's over 50,000 custom feeds. In Flahses, you can like, repost and reply to posts, just like Bluesky. Those interactions will also appear in Bluesky's app, while Bluesky users' interactions will show up in Flashes. On Flashes, you can customise your user profile by opting to show or hide likes, lists and feeds, or using other media filtering options. For content creators, the app also has a feature called "Portfolio", which will let you curate which images should appear on your Flashes user profile. How to get started To use Flahses, you'll need to have a Bluesky account. If you already have one, you can directly sign in with those credentials. If not, you will have to sign up for a Bluesky account within the Flashes app. To create an account, you'll need to provide an email address, password, and date of birth, then accept the terms of use. Once signed in, you can immediately start browsing the images and videos shared on your Bluesky timeline or any other Bluesky feed, or post your own media.

Pizza Hut giving away free food every week over summer holidays
The new offering, which is called Hut Wednesdays, is valid for both delivery and collection, but not for in-store or third-party orders - here is how to claim it Pizza Hut is giving away free large pizzas every Wednesday when you spend £15 through its app. The new offering, which is called Hut Wednesdays, is valid for both delivery and collection, but not for in-store or third-party orders. In order to get the deal, you'll need to down the Pizza Hut app on the App Store or by Google Play. Pizza Hut has more than 260 restaurants across the UK, according to its website. Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK &I, said: "We're super excited to introduce Hut Wednesdays as the UK's new midweek ritual by giving away free pizza. "We invite you to live it large & bring good times to those midweek blues. Why wait for the weekend when you can live it large every Wednesday instead?" It comes after new research from insurance company Scottish Friendly revealed parents are bracing themselves for a financial hit of up to £1,000 per child over the school summer holidays. The study reveals that UK parents expect to spend an average of £167 a week on childcare and activities during the six-week break, totalling £1,002 per child. In London, where costs are higher, this rises to £236 a week – or £1,416 over the entire summer. The vast majority of parents – 87% – describe the summer holidays as a 'burden' on their finances, with many now actively looking to cut costs. A third (33%) plan to take advantage of free activities, such as National Trust days out, while nearly a quarter (24%) will set – and stick to – a summer budget. Others are turning to support from grandparents and extended family (18%) or dipping into their savings (10%) for help with childcare. Some 9% intend to use tax-free childcare vouchers. More than half of parents with children aged under 18 (53%) say planning summer childcare is a source of stress, rising to 63% among those with children aged 1 to 4. Scottish Friendly's savings specialist, Kevin Brown, commented on the data: 'For many families, the summer holidays bring stress and financial strain. 'The cost of childcare and activities can quickly add up, especially for those with younger children. It's encouraging to see that many parents are thinking ahead, budgeting carefully and finding creative ways to reduce costs. 'However, it is concerning that one in 10 parents will be dipping into their savings to cover the additional childcare costs over the summer holidays. 'If that wasn't what the savings were originally intended for, it will mean a loss in compounded growth – for those parents it's an unseen further cost of ensuring children are kept safe and engaged over the long summer break.'
